Mark Jefferies, who identifies himself as one of the victim’s uncles, said he never thought he’d see this day.

“I’m feeling some type of way. Little tears in my eyes. But can’t bring them back,” Jefferies said. “I don’t know what happened, but I know they hang together all the time and they were friends for a long time.”

The victims’ identities have not yet been released by officials.

“At this time, we’re trying to determine if this is a more isolated incident,” CPD spokesperson Jennifer Timmons said. “We’re also working to gather more information on the suspect or suspects.”

One resident WIS spoke with said he’s lived in the apartment complex for 17 years and this news comes uneasily.

“I feel very sad about this,” Raymond Newton said, “and I really don’t want to see this happen anymore, especially in my neighborhood because that makes me feel...you know, if I come out the door, something may be happening to me.”
